Recipe:
1 lb pasta, I used rigatoni
2 small zucchini, cut into rounds then quarters
1 cup roasted corn, I use pre-roasted frozen corn, thawed.
1 can (15 oz) cannellini beans, drained
1 red bell pepper or 1 cup mini peppers, sliced
4 oz feta cheese, crumbled
⅓ cup green olives, chopped. I used castelvetrano
2-3 cups arugula
Ken’s Simply Vinaigrette Lemon Dressing
Ken’s Simply Vinaigrette Greek Dressing
Salt & pepper
 
1. Prepare the pasta as instructed on the package. Drain and set aside
2. Preheat the oven to 425 F. Add the quartered zucchini to a baking dish and toss with 2 tbsp of Ken’s Simply Lemon Vinaigrette with a pinch of salt. Bake or air-fry for about 25 minutes on the top rack
3. Once the zucchini is ready, add it to a large mixing bowl with the cooked pasta, roasted corn, white beans, feta cheese, olives, sliced peppers, and arugula.
4. In a small bowl, combine ¼ cup of the Ken’s Simply Vinaigrette Lemon + ¼ cup of the Ken’s Simply Vinaigrette Greek. Mix well and toss with the pasta. Season with salt & pepper as needed
